Comments:
This is adorable. It would be perfect for a family camping trip. You little girl and her 'little girl' can sleep together.
 
Here you go again! You come up with THE best patterns! Thanks again!
 
This is absolutely adorable! You are just too crafty!! My granddaughter would love it. May I have your permission to sell the finished product in my Etsy Shop, with a link to your blog? Thank you :)
 
No online sales. It is my intention to offer this item for sale in my own Etsy shop.
 
I would like to make and sell items from some of your patterns at the Greenbelt Craft Fair this December. All proceeds will go to charity (I haven't picked the charity for this year yet, but last year it was Gulf Coast Jewish Family Services.) May I have permission for this?
 
It will be okay to make and sell items to benefit charity. As long as there is no personal gain.
 
Thanks, I appreciate it! :-)
 
I love it! I'm trying to make one for my daughter and on round 1 it says "work in opposite side of starting chain and sc in each of 23 chain stitches. DO NOT join rounds. [60 sc]" Isn't there more than 23 chain stitches? If I stop on chain 23 it doesn't get me to the end! Is this an error?
 
Should work out, but if it doesn't just work however many sc you need to finish the round.
 
Great pattern, making it with "Monet" Red Heart Super Saver, it is coming out beautiful. I made yellow PJ's and slippers to give as a gift to a special 8 year old girl.
Thank you for sharing your patterns and talents.
 
Did not want to go purchase poly fiber fill so I chopped up knee highs and panty hose to fill the pillow. Looks like it worked.
